Thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to do some wine tastings! Machelle was an amazing host sharing her awesome wealth of information on the grapes and history of the winery. I would recommend stopping in to enjoy a welcoming experience and try some fabulous wines! I was so impressed I joined the wine club!!

Finally made it to Red Rooster Winery for a tasting! Their outdoor patio is a great spot to enjoy a glass — relaxed and comfortable, with a nice breeze and a view that stretches across the lawn, vineyard, and out toward the lake and hills. There’s a bit of road noise, but nothing that takes away from the experience.
Tori hosted our tasting and did a fantastic job. She poured a sparkling rosé, 2021 Semillon, 2022 Sauvignon Blanc, 2024 Pinot Gris, and 2020 GSM (Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre). The Semillon was bright and refreshing with a grapefruit note, while the Sauvignon Blanc had that green, fresh character with a light lemon edge — really well done.
Tori was generous with her time and knowledge, especially when she found out I’m studying for WSET Level 2. She shared extra details that tied directly into what I’m learning, which I really appreciated.
She also introduced me to the term “cork dork” — said she can geek out on wine anytime. Same here. Great experience all around — definitely a five-star visit.

There are servers, there are storytellers, and then — once in a lifetime — there is Tori.
From the very first moment, she greeted us not with rehearsed lines, but with the kind of warmth and authenticity that made it feel like we’d stumbled into the company of a true friend. She didn’t just pour wine; she poured passion, knowledge, and joy into every single glass.
In fact, we almost didn’t make it in at all. The doors were closing just as we arrived, and any ordinary server might have sent us away. But not Tori. She welcomed us in anyway, saving our day with her generosity and kindness. That first visit was unforgettable — so unforgettable that when we returned later, she actually remembered us. That small but extraordinary detail sealed it: this review should have been written the first time, and we’re making up for it now.
Her explanations of each varietal were so vivid, so rich with detail and enthusiasm, that we felt like we were walking through the vineyards themselves, tasting not just the wine but the very history and heart of Red Rooster. She made us laugh, she made us think, and most importantly, she made us feel welcome in a way no guidebook could prepare you for.
By the time our experience was over, we weren’t just guests — we were friends, connected by the simple magic of great wine and even greater company.
To call Tori a server would be an injustice — she is an ambassador of passion, a curator of connection, and truly, the soul of Red Rooster Winery. If there were a hall of fame for hospitality, her name would be etched in gold at the very top.

Delicious wines and beautiful grounds. We enjoyed a tasting inside and then stuck around to play some lawn games. Great little time spent at red rooster. Will definitely return!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Red Rooster Winery, and I can't recommend this experience highly enough, especially thanks to Landon, who made the day unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, Landon’s warm and welcoming personality set the tone for an extraordinary visit. He greeted us with genuine enthusiasm and offered a wealth of knowledge about the winery, its history, and, of course, the wines. His passion for wine and the winery’s craft was immediately evident, and it made the entire tour feel like an educational adventure rather than just a tasting. Landon expertly guided us through the tasting process, offering detailed descriptions of each wine and sharing interesting stories behind the blends. His ability to explain the nuances of each varietal, without being overly technical, made the experience approachable for both novice wine drinkers and seasoned enthusiasts. He even went above and beyond by recommending food pairings that perfectly complemented each wine, which elevated the entire tasting. One of the highlights of the day was Landon’s insight into the vineyard’s sustainable practices. It was clear that Red Rooster is committed to producing quality wines while respecting the land, and Landon’s passion for the environment made the experience all the more special. Whether you’re visiting for the wine, the stunning views, or simply to learn more about the winemaking process, Landon will make your time at Red Rooster Winery one to remember. His personable approach and vast knowledge truly set the experience apart. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

This new tasting format is amazing. I havent been here in years bur after this stop I will be back. Ps Landon was fabulous, knowledgeable and an expert.
Sara Hamilton
INCREDIBLE service at this winery! We came in last minute and had wine slushies, the peach and strawberry were both delicious. Nicely sweet and fruity but still tons of wine flavour. Tori was an amazing server and took time to get to know us, took awesome photos of us, and even brought us extra straws because she thought our paper ones might have been breaking down. We were joking that there must have been a camera out there because she knew exactly what we needed! Blake helped us pick out some fun merch and was super fun to chat with. We’re only here for the weekend but now we HAVE to come back!
